re: Anyone here have a saltwater aquarium?

I used to have a 75 gallon salt several years ago. It was relatively easy for me (after initial tank cycle) because I decided to make it an aggressive fish tank. I had live rock, but since I had aggressive fish like clown trigger & hawk fish, I couldn’t have shrimp, snails, corals, etc. So, no expensive lighting & upkeep. I really enjoyed it. If you went salt, I would recommend a large one. I wouldn’t recommend a small salt tank because you don’t want fluctuations in water salinity & quality.

Currently,, I just have 5 gallon freshwater nano, planted tank with endler livebearers, a tiny bumblebee goby & cherry shrimp in my office. I think I’m enjoying my little planted tank more. The plants are pretty satisfying to grow & the little endlers are colorful & fun to watch. I do have upgraded lighting for plants, but this freshwater planted tank set-up is a lot less expensive than a salt of similar size & a lot less maintenance.
